Life has had a way of getting to me lately, sadly. I just haven't been myself because I've spent too much time being down about one aspect of life or another. Here's a confession, I've always thought that new years resolutions are kind of cliche and inconclusive. I mean, shouldn't we always be making new goals for ourselves and constantly be striving to be better? Not just right at the beginning of the year? And who actually follows through with their goals anyways? I've always thought why make a new years resolution when I know I'm just going to botch it up within a couple of days. But honestly, this year feels a little different. This year I really feel the need to have a new start and rededicate myself to living life the way I should be living it and not just what is comfortable for me. I want to be more active. Not just taking care of my body but active as in constantly doing good things and not wasting my time away on stupid and unimportant things. I want to become a better and deeper thinker. I want to do more challenging things. I want to do better and focus harder on school. I decided recently that the time for me to serve a mission is not now and that I should be focusing on finishing school. Well that's what I want to do. I want to be a full time student and really become good at learning and schooling.
Anyways, I don't know if that is kind of over the top for a list of new years resolutions but I really hope I can accomplish at least one of them. They are all things that I really want to work on. I feel like owe it to my Heavenly Father, my parents, my friends and even myself to be a better person this year, because I didn't do so well in 2010. But the past is gone and the time to be better is now!
The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months! -Edward Payson Powell
